ABSTRACT

Gi-Fi will helps to push wireless communications to faster drive. For many years
cables ruled the world. Optical fibers played a dominant role for its higher bit rates
and faster transmission. But the installation of cables caused a greater difficulty
and thus led to wireless access. The foremost of this is Bluetooth which can cover
9-10mts. Wi-Fi followed it having coverage area of 91mts. No doubt, introduction
of Wi-Fi wireless networks has proved a revolutionary solution to last mile
problem. However, the standards original limitations for data exchange rate and
range, number of changes, high cost of the infrastructure have not yet made it
possible for Wi-Fi to become a total threat to cellular networks on the one hand,
and hard-wire networks, on the other. But the mans continuous quest for even
better technology despite the substantial advantages of present technologies led to
the introduction of new, more up-to-date standards for data exchange rate.
Gi-Fi or Gigabit Wireless is the worlds first transceiver integrated on a single chip
that operates at 60GHz on the CMOS process. It will allow wireless transfer of
audio and video data up to 5 gigabits per second, ten times the current maximum
wireless transfer rate, at one-tenth of the cost, usually within a range of 10 meters.
It utilizes a 5mm square chip and a 1mm wide antenna burning less than 2m watts
of power to transmit data wirelessly over short distance, much like Bluetooth.
The development will enable the truly wireless office and home of the future. As
the integrated transceiver is extremely small, it can be embedded into devices. The
breakthrough will mean the networking of office and home equipment without
wires will finally become a reality.
In this book we present a low cost, low power and high broadband chip, which will
be vital in enabling the digital economy of the future.
